Except for some effects that I attribute mostly to age, my intuitive thinking is just as prone to overconfidence, extreme predictions, and the planning fallacy as it was before I made a study of these issues.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At a very young age I was predicting outcomes, trying to take all the information and find the best route to wherever I was going. I avoided a lot of pitfalls because of that.
I am incredibly bad at predicting the future; I am only smart enough to observe the present and listen to my intuition about tendencies.
I'm not by nature a terribly intuitive person; I need to build a situation in which I will behave more intuitively, and that has really changed the life of my work - I found a way to trick myself into being intuitive.
I'm not a big planner; I decide by intuition.
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
If you over-think, it affects things too much; I work instinctively, like painting in a way. Think too much, and you ruin everything.
I've become increasingly confidant in following intuitions ahead of thoughts as I produce more records.
Trusting our intuition often saves us from disaster.
Still, intuitive assumptions about behavior is only the starting point of systematic analysis, for alone they do not yield many interesting implications.
When I was younger, I talked to the adults around me that I respected most about how they got where they were, and none of them plotted a course they could have predicted, so it seemed a waste of time to plan too long-term. Since then, I've always gone on my instincts.
